Stong (In Pictures)

A picture speaks a thousand words. Indeed ;)

Nice sunny day


Too much abseiling?


More pictures to come...Plus, I hope to re-visit Dabong again. Such an idyllic place, so peaceful, so away from the many distractions which make up our life. How I'd wish we had lived a life doing things you enjoy, and not continuously chasing after something else. We live, indeed, in a messy world. Complicated. Results orientated.

Something has to give, maybe.

But the people there are happy as they are! Lack of handphones do not cripple them; lack of advanced tools do not disable them. They just make do with what they have.

And I admire them. In fact, I wish I could be like them at times.

Getting back to trekking, the main point of trekking trips is to enjoy, not to break records. (Well, the record breaking is just on my side la. It's just for the fun of it.)

Stong-Angsi anyone?
